• Changes made to the Skoda 7cwt van imported into the UK include a new shape to the rear end of the body and modifications to instruments and electrical switches. A smaller steering wheel is also used now.
The main change to the body is that the fins which ended in rear light clusters have been eliminated and the flasher, stop and rear lights are now housed in a horizontal group below the tail gate. The tail gate itself is unchanged. There is a horizontal split with a drop-down lower portion and positive stays to hold the upper part in position when it is raised.
The Skoda van keeps its 1,221 c,c 47 bhp four-cylinder engine, four-speed synchr9mesh gearbox and all-round independent suspension. Recommended retail price is £525.
